Mardi Gras Owls - Triptych

I created a triptych of three Mardi Gras owls using 'Owl Moths' as masks. Each is 20"x20". I called them Krewe of Strix. A krewe (pronounced "crew") is a social organization that puts on a parade or ball for the Carnival season. Strix is Latin for screech owl. So, I see it as meaning "Parade of Screech Owls". As you see, the backgrounds are Mardi Gras colors. I sketched them out a year before I got around to painting them.
